Hello, and welcome to my thread.
Recently, I have come up with a strategy that is almost all profit. In backtesting, I am at least 80% win to loss ratio, just because of the nature of the system. Here it is:
In this system, we are using heiken-ashi multi-time frame bars. Heiken-ashi, if you don't know, is a way of sort of averaging candles so that you stay in trends longer. In this system, we are using a smoothed version of these candles. That way, even though there are minor corrections, we still stay in the trade.
**IMPORTANT**- Trade the 4 hours. TRADE the 4 hours. Anything shorter will whipsaw you, anything longer won't give you 3 timeframes above. The 4h gives you, from the bottom to the top, 4h, daily, weekly, and monthly heiken ashi bars. Essentially, we are waiting for them all to line up in the same color. When this happens, we are going to have a strong trend that will correct itself even if you screw up some.
Now getting on to trading...
FIRST THINGS FIRST
IDENTIFY THE LONG TERM TREND. Do this by looking at the top two HAS squares at the particular moment you are trading. If they are in agreement, then you have a good long trend. For example, if you are looking to trade at a moment and then are both blue, then you should look long. If they are red, you look short. Example:

In that particular example, we are looking long.
STEP 2: FINDING AN ENTRY
Now, identifying the trend was easy. Seeing where to enter is just as easy. This is a purely look at it and trade system. What we are going to try to do is trade on pullbacks. The way we can do this is by trying to find when the 4h and daily are the opposite of the week and month:

See how both of the red's changed over while the blue's are still on top? That's what we are waiting for. Now we wait for the 4h to turn blue and then, ultimately, we enter when the daily turns blue. That's right, the third line. We enter on the third line change. Essentially, what we are doing is watching the big trend (see how it is an uptrend?), then waiting for a minor correction (the 4h AND the daily turning red), and then we enter after that correction is over (daily resumes the trend direction):

Remember, the long term MUST stay the same color as the short term change. I will post pictures of more successful trades.
